Having a human skeleton is not so far from probable.

There was a time when every highschool science class and every doctors office had a real human skeleton. Nowdays you need documentation proving that these skeletons were obtained legally before the law banning them went into effect. I’ve heard about old time doctors having a hard time getting rid of their skeletons when it comes time for them to retire and close up shop. THey can’t just turn them over to the authorities without being investigated. If they don’t have the required documentation, they are in a bind. I suppose a good deal of them end up on the black market.

It gives renewed meaning to the phrase “skeletons in the closet”.

I think that Penn Jillette has some “unusual” items too ranging from an electic chair to a fetus in a jar. And then there are the things he wouldn’t show the film crew that was touring his home.

Thanks for the info, I had no idea. I wondered why my daughter's biology class didn't have a skeleton like mine did in high school.
